I doubt he's doing that in order to put food on the table and keep a roof over his head.Well I do feel sorry for him, he's only auctioning off his prize possessions that represent his life. Not all of them but a damn good bit.

Not sure if he is or he is putting it back in to the team.I doubt he's doing that in order to put food on the table and keep a roof over his head.
did you write this before he finished 16th a lap downBubba's the real deal.

He also finished behind David Ragan.eh, he finished third behind two of the RCR cars and his crew chief unfortunately made the wrong call. Adjustments are really hard to make on short tracks, just a little off and you get buried. Sure was cool to see the 43 with STP out front.
what is that to mean?He also finished behind David Ragan.
It's pretty straightforward.what is that to mean?
off topic then..okIt's pretty straightforward.
Bubba Wallace finishing behind another driver is strangely on topic, in the Bubba Wallace thread. I can explain this concept further via PM.off topic then..ok
so far he is blowing away what Almirola did in the 43, but Petty moved his team to RCR's building and the car got better for Bubba. He sure is taking advantage of the opportunityDrew said they swung the wrong way with the track supposedly tightening up, it didn't happen.
In more of a rear mid-field car to do what Bubba did, he opened some eyes. Thats not easy to go against the best like that, also that 43 looked great up front. He should be proud, but now he has to start stringing races together.

But can we honestly say RCR/Chevy this year is an improvement over last year?
Yes, RCR has improved and downsizing has worked wonders.
Didn't say they were. Wallace should be pleased with his run, solid day. Also much to learn and improve on.FRM was top 10-15 on pace all weekend. Regan and McDowell are no slouches on short tracks.
Let me rephrase. Is RCR/Chevy really an improvement, for RPM, over last year? I think the verdict's still out, especially with how bad Chevy teams, all of them, have performed at the Brobs.

How many laps did Ragan lead? How many laps did he run in the Top 5? Top 10?He also finished behind David Ragan.
Yes, I believe we can say the Petty/Childress 43 is better than the Petty/Roush 43 from last year. Sponsorship is spotty, and money is obviously tight this year, but Bubba has been a genuine contender three times in eight races, including a plate race, a fast intermediate, and a high-banked short track. That is a meaningful upgrade over the 43's performance in 2017. The 43 is much faster, much more competitive, in early 2018.But can we honestly say RCR/Chevy this year is an improvement over last year?

Are the gains all driver... all because Bubba Wallace is that much better than Aric Almirola?? No, you can't say that. Bubba has done great, and I for one am really impressed by his driving. But you have to admit that Almirola has proven in the 10 that he is no chopped liver. Only one really bad result so far, and that was getting caught in Kyle Busch's "Big One" at Texas last week while running up front. Excluding Texas, Aric's average finish is 10, which is equal to Harvick and 4th among all drivers.
yes ol KDB has had more then one go all his way this year.
Consider the equipment and it could mean he is better.Almirola avg finish this year 14.1
Wallace abg finish 20.1
Yea that really puts him above Almiola there buddy
Consider the equipment and it could mean he is better.
Has anyone seen the 43 run down and pass the leader at Bristol before Bubba Wallace? I'm talking on the same tires, same lap? This guy has it.
Derrick Cope's name will remain on the trophy, but he still lucked into it. I'm sure you're sincere but when Darrell Wallace Jr's career is finished, I hope this conversation is all he has in common with Derrick Cope.One thing I learned a long time ago about stock car racing is this. There are numerous ways to measure success. If a driver is driving what is regarded as a top 20 car, and he brings it home 8th-12th about half the time. Then yes, he is doing very well. Bubbas' run at Daytona was no fluke. People can say he was the beneficiary of other peoples bad luck. So was Derrick Cope in 1990, and his name is still on the Harley J. Earl trophy, and always will be. Bubba is doing fine in his rookie campaign. He's building a solid foundation for his career. So, this far into the season I would guess he's exceeded expectations.
